Venice Peach 52,982 Posted October 7, 2021 Chemtrails is actually a really good album. I agree that the production is not the strongest point but her voice and melodies carry the songs enough to make a nice record.ย 13 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The awful music video. Wow I didn't know that was a thing forย anybody else. I connect audio to visuals and that's why visuals are veryย important to me (music videos but also album covers, colors and, as stupid as it sounds, also outfits/looks). I don't really like the colors or styleย ofย the original mv and connected that to the song itself. Now with the new video I kind of listen to the song differently?? 2 Quote Honey,ย you makeย me feel I'm invincible Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just heard it, it's okay, I would've definitely still like it if it were the original version but at the same time it's so basic. It sounds like a typical indie girl song without the ethereal feeling of the original. People seem to like it because it has clearer vocals, which is not odd since the majority of pop songs has crystal clear autotuned vocals and people are used to it.ย ย Wow it's so unpopular for me, I didn't think there would be people who would hate West Coast (radio mix)ย ย It's an absolutely perfect song and not a week goes by that I don't have it listen since its release, what crush.ย ย I will not say that it is better than the original (impossible) but they are tied. The guitars, the sad beach vibe and that catchy chorus is blessed, it really is a pure success. Simple for some and well underestimated in my opinion. It's Lana's kind of guilty pleasure. I would like her to do more songs in this style (even if we all know she will not be doing any for a long time)ย 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
